I loved the vibe at Sansom Studios. Olly and Elliot’s enthusiasm and love for the music are infectious and will transform every recording session. Also, a great instrument like their Yamaha S6 grand piano doesn’t hurt. I’m looking forward to my next opportunity to work at Sansom Studios.
Sansom Studios is a musician-led recording and production studio based on the outskirts of Birmingham.
Built from years of experience on both sides of the glass - performing, producing, engineering and writing - the studio was designed as a place where music can be made properly, without distraction or compromise.
The space was designed and constructed from the ground up, acoustically engineered to capture detail, depth and natural energy. At the centre of the studio is a large, adaptable live room - a space that comfortably accommodates full bands while remaining equally effective for smaller, more intimate sessions. Its scale and acoustic flexibility allow performances to breathe in a way that smaller rooms simply cannot replicate.
Sessions here are focused but relaxed. Some artists arrive with everything carefully prepared and simply want to capture strong performances. Others prefer a little more exploration as ideas develop. The role of the studio is to support whichever approach suits the project best.
For artists who are looking for deeper creative collaboration, production can form part of the process. This might involve subtle arrangement and performance guidance, refining structure and sonics, or in some cases co-writing and developing material from the ground up.
Alongside commercial releases, the studio supports emerging artists through initiatives such as Spotlight on Birmingham - helping new voices gain access to professional recording and industry insight.
Above all, Sansom Studios exists to make records that endure - and to create an environment people genuinely want to come back to.
